As we headed out of Buffalo, we did most of our miles on major highways and freeways (I90). This makes for a much faster trip, but it’s also not a memorable ride. I don’t like to travel freeways when we can help it. We will have to do many miles on freeways this trip, since our goal is to get to Davenport, IA by the 11th, if at all possible. There are some weird and interesting sights along the road, however. I like to title this one: “What could possibly go wrong?”

As we came into South Dakota’s Black Hills, we were greeted by Bighorn Sheep. I think this photo would make a great Bev Doolittle painting, by the way….

However – our destination for this leg of the trip was the Black Hills Bungalows, which is one of the most peaceful and beautiful places we have ever stayed. We arrived in good order, and had a late lunch in Custer at the Flintstone theme park. It was quite a contrast from our elegant breakfast.

At last we arrived at our destination. A few pictures to make my point about this little slice of Peace on Earth:
